54 – Magic Stone Golem – 3
ㅡKnock knock knock!!!!!
Ingrid, who was concentrating on improving a wide-area magic technique, stopped her work when she heard an urgent knock outside the door.
I checked the watch. The numbers were already indicating evening. Who on earth would do something so rude at this hour? Ingrid frowned slightly and opened her mouth.
“Come in.”
“Hey, Professor Ingrid!”
An assistant came rolling into the room.
“Why are you doing that?”
“The magic stone golem! The magic stone golem broke during the sparring!”
“What?”
Ingrid stood up without realizing it. The magic stone golem was broken? Even during sparring? Ingrid, who was about to urgently ask what happened, changed her question when a thought suddenly occurred to her.
“By any chance, the person who broke it was a student, and his name is Mira Krait?”
“…… “How did you know?”
The assistant’s eyes widened. Without further ado, it was the correct answer.
“That’s right, Mira Krait. The youngest son of the Crait family. Professor Jake said that the student destroyed a magic stone golem during a sparring lecture.”
As soon as the answer was correct, Ingrid put her butt back on his chair again. Then he doesn’t have to worry. He wasted his emotions for no reason. Ingrid waved her hand and issued a congratulatory command.
“I don’t have to worry about you, so go away.”
“Yes? Ha, but the magic stone golem is broken. Are you really okay?”

“Even the Sword Saint will understand. You said it from the beginning, right? Even if the golem breaks, the imperial palace will fully cover the cost of repairs, so don’t worry. “When the chairman heard that, he got angry and asked if he thought Bellium Academy was that poor.”
“That’s true, but… ….”
Ingrid forcibly chased away his hesitant assistant, then sank into his chair.
‘It was true.’
When the Sword Saint provided the magic stone golem for sparring, he made a separate comment to Ingrid. The message was that she should never be surprised even if Mira Krait destroys the magic stone golem.
She said she was 100% sure that that student would be capable of doing so.
When asked how she was sure, she replied that she had a few doubts. In the end, she didn’t hear what her suspicions were.
‘Did he say that his student might enter the academy in the near future?’
He said that he has recently been concentrating on the rehabilitation training of a student who miraculously returned to human life after being a murderer for several years. Should I call it the driving force of a sword saint?
“Let’s see where and how broken it is… ….”
Ingrid, who received the report on the destruction of the magic stone golem that arrived shortly, turned the first page. And he gave a small exclamation.
It was a report written by Professor Jake, and it contained the story that Mira Krayt had moved at a speed that was blurry even to her professor’s own eyes, cutting off her magic stone golem’s entire wrist and destroying her core.
‘The Royal Guard destroyed the core of the magic stone golem they used for sparring?’
Let alone the fact that such an expensive, high-end product needs to be manufactured anew, the thickness of the chest armor that was originally placed to prevent it from breaking is beyond imagination.
I wondered how they destroyed it in less than a second.
‘I feel like I can hear the sound of that guy pulling his hair out from here.’
There is nothing about the Magic Stone Golem that is not expensive, but the price of the core is especially enormous. Not only did it have a different structure from a typical golem’s core, but it also couldn’t be created with mana.
Is it just that the price is expensive? Even the making process was extremely complicated. It’s not for nothing that the great wizards are still concerned about blueprints created more than a hundred years ago, with only minor improvements.
But the fact that that precious item was torn to pieces along with the magic stone golem made Ingrid a little hesitant about how to accept this fact. No matter how much of the swordsman’s words there were.
“Professor, are you there? “This is Priscilla Agnes.”
As Ingrid was struggling to think of a solution while reading the report, which was so confusing that it was worthless to say in advance, there was a knock on the door again.
“You may come in.”
When permission was given, Priscilla cautiously came inside, holding a bundle of parchment. At the combination of unexpected people and unexpected objects, Ingrid put down the report she was reading.
“What brought you here, Miss Agnes?”
“I have designed a new core for the magic stone golem, and I was wondering if you would be willing to inspect it.”
“…… “The core of the magic stone golem?”
Ingrid was astonished, even though his years of experience only showed it on the surface. Did they devise a new structure for an object that even the great wizards had never dared to touch?
Even though he was a student called a genius magician, he wondered if that was possible.
“Please at least take a look. “Please do me a favor.”
Priscilla placed a rolled up parchment on her desk and bowed politely. Ingrid sighed.
“Miss Agnes. “Miss Agnes brought it, so I will check it first, but keep in mind that if someone else had brought it, it would be so nonsense that I would have just sent it back to you.”
“I know. “Thank you for your consideration.”
Ingrid unfolded the parchment with a disapproving expression. He said he would take care of it because Agnes had brought it, but he wasn’t really expecting much.
Even so, the story about Priscilla’s recent attitude had become a hot topic among second-year professors. She said that as she entered her second year, she began to skip lectures more frequently.
Her grades were still at least a perfect score on the written test, so it wasn’t a problem, but I couldn’t help but say something about her changed attitude.
After all, that was after she met Mira Krayt, and a rumor was spreading among her second-year professors that Priscilla was so besotted with the man that she had completely let go of her studies.
Of course, there were professors who didn’t care at all whether a student showed up for class or not because they thought it was okay as long as the student got good grades. Ingrid was one of them.
“… ….”
With that in mind, Ingrid’s eyes widened as she read the blueprint written on her parchment, and the more she understood the structure of her core, the more she gradually became disbelieving.
“This…… What… ….”
“How are you feeling, Professor?”
“…… It would be good to put it into practice right now. This is ridiculous. “The structure has become more complex, but the process of making it has become simpler, and the efficiency of the magic stone has increased by more than 30%?”
Ingrid’s arms trembled as she faced a blueprint that directly contradicted the common sense she had built up so far. Priscilla gently placed a wedge on top of it.
“I’ve been missing a lot of lectures lately. “I did it to test it out.”
The gossip from second-year professors that had been in Ingrid’s mind disappeared like the melting snow on a spring day. Instead, the empty space was filled with astonishment and praise for Priscilla’s genius.
“…… Is this really what you thought? Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to doubt you, but is there anyone who made it together…….”
Priscilla smiled slightly as she watched Ingrid rambling.
The man who was her light, sun, warmth, savior, and everything said that this achievement should belong entirely to Priscilla, but Priscilla had no intention of doing so.
“The person who opened up the possibility was Mira.”
Because her mummy’s happiness is no different from her own happiness.
The plan was half-successfully completed.
The completely destroyed magic stone golem was transported to the imperial palace along with the fragments hastily collected for the purpose of mounting and testing a new core, and the students gave me a look that told me that I was the top student and that I should just eat everything.
Considering that the midterm exams had not yet been properly taken, it was quite a successful change. Priscilla’s image was also flipped 180 degrees.
But the reason it was only half-successful was because Priscilla blurted out that it was I, and not her, who had originally designed her core.
Thanks to her, she was called by Ingrid without even knowing what was happening, and her eyes were half-closed, so she had to listen to her words for a long time. She seemed much more enthusiastic than when she explained how to improve wide-range magic techniques.
Well, if you fix the efficiency of magic and magic stones that have no use other than on the battlefield, the difference between golems that will make your daily life much richer will be quite large.
In the original work, she was worried about humans becoming extinct and disappearing, so she would not have even thought about using the improved core in her daily life.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I don’t need all that. If you are happy, I am happy too. That’s why you said you did it.”
“That’s…… No, it’s done.”
The reason I tried to attribute it to Priscilla’s achievement was that the new core was not developed by us after all, but was something that future archmages would develop.
I was thinking of handing it over to Priscilla, who had been trapped in this world for a long time, as a very slight compensation.
Priscilla, who should have gained fame, passed all of her accomplishments to me and smiled with sincere happiness, so I couldn’t even say anything to her.
‘Next time, I’ll just have to do it myself.’
She thought that Priscilla would eat it if she chewed it and put it down her throat, rather than spoon-feeding it to her.
Because something like that happened, thanks to this, the lecture on wide-area magic techniques was replaced by another professor. He had no choice as Ingrid ran out with the blueprints and headed towards the imperial palace.
“Hey, Mira. “Do you have time this weekend?”
And, it seemed like this incident was about to become much bigger than I thought.
“Or it’s okay to postpone it until later. “I know you have to prepare for the midterm exam.”
About ten days later, when there were only about four days left until the midterm exams began, Priscilla suddenly said something like that.
“I’m almost done preparing for the test, so I can do it if I have time, but why?”
“Dad wants to meet you.”
The father in law xd
